what happens when barbarians like Blackblade just wants to do what he wants to
do. If you want to live in civilized society enjoying the good life, not
everyone can do whatever he wants to do. Elementary my dear Watson!

Subject: regarding Multi-Use Trails

From the 700+ comment section following today's NYTimes article,

"Death on a Bike," I started a collection of complaints regarding
bike/pedestrian sharing, but there were far too many to

continue. Suffice it to say, bikes and pedestrians are not a good
mix on the streets, so why would they be on trails? Here are a few

comments.......


I also could be posting thousands of articles about how bikers are ruinning wilderness trails for hikers, but they all tend to have a sameness about them just like your list of comments.about urban conflicts. A scoundrel like Blackblade does not care for true life stories or comments from pedestrians. He prefers to put his faith in meaningless numbers. That is because he is a lout and does not care about how he effects others.

Well, it's my first time posting here. As a mtn biker in New England,

I belong to HEMBA (New England Mtn Bike Assn). It sponsors a Bike
Patrol that receives first aid training (ARC certified). Each patroller
carries first aid AND a desire to maintain some level of civility
and courtesy on the trails.

No matter how civil and courteous you are on a trail, you do not belong there unless you are walking. Hikers resent the hell out of you for being there on a bike.


I believe about ten or more years ago that Curtis Sliwa formed a

citizen's group to fight crime. I do not have all the details, of
its success so please don't pounce.

Mtn bikers often ride with mini-cams. Why not consider a group of riders

who carry personal mini-cams? I'm sure one lawyer in NYC and elsewhere
would probably appreciate some audio/video evidence. :-)

Just my two cents ... most likely won't reply for a few weeks

too much anger here ....

The only anger here is occasioned by the world’s number one Asshole who goes by the moniker of Blackblade.This jackass is from England which right there ****es me off. I don’t think they have any true wilderness there except maybe in the outer reaches of Scotland.


Mountain bikers are barbarians and have no right to be on any trail used by hikers – unless they want to get off their god damn ****ing bikes and walk like everyone else. When they crash and injure themselves, I rejoice! If and when they manage to kill themselves, I say good riddance to bad rubbish! Death to mountain biking!

“Tread softly! All the earth is holy ground.”
~ Christina Rossetti (Psalm 24),
from "A Later Life: A Double Sonnet of Sonnets"

Mountain bikes have wheels. Wheels are for roads.

Trails are for walking. What’s the matter? Can’t walk?
